So, let General Petraeus testify at the Benghazi Congressional Hearings. Televise it on C-Span. Show us that our government has got nothing to hide....most of us at least...except maybe the CIA (aka the "Committee to Intervene Anywhere").
------------------
The CIA is denying an assertion made by David Petraeus' biographer and girlfriend that the agency held militants in Libya before the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. During a talk last month at the University of Denver, author Paula Broadwell said the CIA had detained people at a secret facility in Benghazi, and that the attack on the U.S. Consulate there was an effort to free those prisoners. President Barack Obama issued an executive order in January 2009 stripping the CIA of its authority to take prisoners. The move means the CIA can no longer operate secret jails across the globe as it had done under the administration of President George W. Bush.

"The CIA has not had detention authority since January 2009... Any suggestion that the Agency is still in the detention business is uninformed and baseless," CIA spokesman Preston Golson told CBS News.
(my words: Mr. Preston, would you be willing to say that while hooked up to a Polygraph or two?)
